Collider ranks crime-romance films that combine love stories with criminal plots, arguing that the contrast can produce emotionally complex and less conventional romances.

– ‘Hit Man’ is praised for Glen Powell and Adria Arjona’s chemistry in a crime-tinged romantic comedy.
– ‘What’s Up, Doc?’ combines screwball romance with criminal schemes, impersonation and mistaken identities.
– ‘Queen & Slim’ follows two people whose relationship develops while fleeing after a fatal police encounter.
